Unveiling the Space

In the heart of Montreuil, France, lies the Beaumarchais Apartment Renovation, a testament to the transformative power of architectural ingenuity. Crafted by miogui in 2021, this project breathes new life into a former commercial unit, now reimagined as a loft nestled within a serene, verdant alleyway.

Architectural Canvas

The existing space, with its metallic ceiling, beams, and cinder block walls, sets the stage for a harmonious fusion of form and function. Standing tall at 3.85 meters under the ceiling, the apartment boasts a single facade, welcoming natural light into its depths.

Layered Spatial Design

miogui’s approach to the renovation is characterized by a reverence for the existing materials, left untouched and painted in crisp white hues. Spatial partitioning unfolds in layers, with glass dividers delineating private and public realms while allowing light to permeate every corner. Curtains offer a delicate balance between openness and privacy.

Abstract Technical Integration

Technical elements seamlessly blend into the living space, suspended from the ceiling on white-painted rails. The kitchen emerges as a blue monolith against the backdrop of white cinder blocks, concealing appliances behind sleek doors. Abstract expressions abound, from the hidden gas box adorned with mosaic tiles to the mirrored surfaces extending the facade’s reflection.

Elegance in Simplicity

A monumental wooden glass wall defines the boundary between the living area and bedrooms, its minimalist design accentuating spatial volume. Concealed doors and streamlined finishes exude sophistication, while lowered ceilings in the bedrooms create a serene retreat. A neutral palette of whites and subtle tones fosters an atmosphere of tranquility, inviting life to unfold within its confines.

Harmonizing Industrial and Organic Elements

Central to the project’s success is the delicate balance achieved between industrial aesthetics and organic warmth. Through thoughtful dialogue with the client, miogui masterfully integrates industrial elements with curves, colors, and wood accents, fostering a harmonious coexistence between past and present.

A Testament to Collaboration

At its core, the Beaumarchais Apartment Renovation exemplifies the power of collaboration. Through open communication and mutual trust, miogui and the client navigated the creative process, ultimately preserving the essence of the former space while embracing the promise of transformation.
